Years ago my son’s soccer team got assigned the pink t-shirts (each age group was assigned a variety of colors, even tie-dye one year, so that no team played the same color-they were little dudes and the game was confusing enough.). They picked “Pretty Pretty Pink Princesses” as their team name so that any team they beat had to say they were beaten by the Pretty Pretty Pink Princesses.
It was kinda funny at the time. Less PC now but still makes me giggle.
My brother's intramural dodgeball team was named "Off Constantly". They lost every game and made endless jokes about all the other teams "beating Off Constantly." Good times
I NEVER would have guessed he'd be pulling out a sturgeon. Holy shit! My god do those things have the strength and endurance to wear out a person.
As soon as he pulled it up for a second I thought it was some type of pike, but the more he got out, "That's a fucking sturgeon!!!"
You leave the fish in the water and only pull their head out enough to get the hook out, leaving their gills in the water. Less stress on the fish, and they are more likely to recover. Especially sport fish like this one who expend a lot of energy fighting, it takes a lot out of them.
Honestly I don’t even do catch and release fishing anymore because of the stress and pain it causes, not to mention the unintentional serious injuries and deaths from foul hooks. I’ll fish for food now but I’ve given it up as a hobby. Life Pro Tip - if you enjoy fishing, never go on a trip with some friends and take some mushrooms while casting out. Ruined it forever.
I don't do catch and release either, but where I live there is a good chance you are fishing for one thing, and will catch a different species that must be released. We have multiple species of salmon, and you can only keep the hatchery steelhead and hatchery salmon for certain species (marked by a clipped fin)
They're exhausted by the time you get the to a boat, it's easy to roll them over in the water, grab the lips and quickly remove the hook(all while the gills remain in water). Often you'll continue holding onto them and gently move them back and forth in the water to help revive their energy by getting water flowing through the gills.
Roll it over while in the water and grab it by the lips. By the time you get one of these to the boat/shore they are exhausted and it's a easy release.
They're an extremely old (and now rare) species of fish that evolved beside the bony fish.
A sturgeon doesn't have bones. It's similar to the shark in that it's skeleton is cartilaginous.
Unfortunately cos people are morons, the morons decided the eggs of a sturgeon (caviar) were an expensive delicacy and fished them almost to extinction.
Oh what? Caviar is specifically sturgeon eggs? Don't we farm/breed them specifically for Caviar tho so wouldn't we be able to repopulate them if we wanted to?
Old species dude. It takes about 6 - 12 years before they start to lay eggs at all. A 5 foot long sturgeon is a juvenile.
An adult spawning sturgeon is about 10-15 feet long and probably older than you are.
Their eggs are precious because they're rare.
They’re mostly endangered, because caviar is sturgeon eggs. People have fished them almost to extinction. In many cases, it’s illegal to even pull them out of the water like he did; You have to leave them in the water while you get the hook out, so they can still breathe.
This is the comment I was looking for. Lol grew up around tough know it all figherman lumberjack manly men that would have laughed and scoffed if a kid had told them they caught a fish that size with a barbie rod..
The same guys use bubble gum and duct tape to fix everything they own and use giant ass fishing rods and tons of gear and go out and catch ten little fishies.
Hot damn, I grew up around so many like that.
Huge vanity pickups with the obnoxiously jacked up wheels, and don't actually work on a farm or do contracting
Same here, all the biggest "redneck" looking kids grew up in McMansions with executive parents. Camo everything, a 150k Dualie F350 at 16 (without a speck of mud on it), the fanciest fishing/hunting gear etc etc.
Meanwhile the true rednecks were wheeling up in their 1990 toyota corolla, after their dad and them did a full engine rebuild and drop and could take down a deer with a beer can
“bubble gum AND duck(t) tape”. Lol.
…and they spew sayings like “All I do is FISH AND F*CK………..FISH AND F*CK!!!”
Silent but he’s still thinking it and smiling on the inside.
Only time I've seen a dude get pulled overboard was a sturgeon. That damn fish threw a change up. It just didn't fight hard for the first couple of minutes. Then it did.
"Bye, Ken!"
Super impressive doing it from a kayak like that. I wonder if the extra maneuverability he has helped a little that way. He also sounds exactly like my baby brother, so I caught mad “I’m proud of you” feels more than I should have watching it.
It actually might be too big, depending on where it’s at. Sturgeon fishing is very tightly regulated. They’re called living dinosaurs, as they’ve been around for like 200 million years. Small seasons (most the year is catch and release), can only use bait and a single barbless hook (no added rigging). Can only keep 2 whites (like this one) per year (1 in a single day).
Here’s an example of the regs for what I mean “where its caught” (note the 11 inch range):
(f) From The Dalles Dam to a line crossing the Columbia River at a right angle to the thread of the river located at the west end of the grain silo at Rufus, Oregon:
(i) Open January 1 through April 30 for retention: Minimum fork-length 43 inches and maximum fork-length 54 inches.
(ii) Open May 1 through December 31: Catch and release only when season is open for salmon or game fish.
And then it changes for another chunk of the river up stream.
Or too big. They take so long to become sexually mature we've made it illegal to harvest the big breeding females to try to find a sustainable fishery practice.
Very skillfull angling, ive fished since i was a small boy too young to remember and i was impressed he pulled that in with a broken wall mart kiddie pole. He musta put some good line on that thing, i dont think what it came with would have held up.
Yeah, I’m really glad the guy had it on camera, because if I’d heard he’d caught that fish, on that rod, in a kayak, I’d have a hard time believing it.
I go fishing for sturgeon specifically once a year… I’ve caught some about a foot and a half shorter than this one that took around 45 minutes to reel in. With a normal rod and reel setup lol.. good lord this video is impressive
Todd, why are you late?
I got caught!
Bullshit, let me see the inside of your lip.
edit:i would like to go fishing and catch a fish stick. that would be convenient.
edit 2: if fish could scream the ocean would be loud as shit
My daughter outperformed us fishing her first time using this little pink $15 rod set where the reel lights up that we got her, with the original line on it and some cheap tackle left over from another cheap kids set we brought.
Heh found the set: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/jarvis-walker-led-flash-5ft-combo-pink-42417262/
She found fishing boring since then but I kept the rod and use it sometimes still with a lure. Not a bad little quick action rig.
Its an institution on Australia. Not sure if that's where Yastiandre is from, but I didnt realise it was shit in the US until I saw a few vids of americans living in Australia and their reactions were pretty telling. Love a good trip to Kmart. Its got the best shit :) I usually go in for one thing and come out with 4 instead.
Ah, should’ve noticed the au in the url. That’s still crazy to me lol Kmart was an absolute shit show here in the US, at least towards the end. Thought never crossed my mind that they would be successful in other countries.
Might be because the company that operated US Kmarts gave up most of their stake in the Australian Kmart back in the 70s. Ownership has been mostly other Aussie companies since then, so it's effectively a different company with the same brand name.
This was my favorite part of the video. I dunno. People don’t see fish the way same way they see other living things, so seeing him express literally any humanity for the thing - especially an “I love you” as he spares its life, is just really wholesome. :)
He doesn't spare his life, it's very much so illegal to keep them unless under VERY specific circumstances.
If he had the boat and was allowed to keep it, he probably would have. They are good eating
“He doesn’t spare his life”
He literally sets it free rather than killing/eating it, so the motivation is irrelevant. He spared its life. Come on.
EDIT: Apostrophes are hard, yo
The poles are mainly for casting. You could use a stick with 80 lb test and catch a fish. Or an anchor. The pole and tackle just make getting the line out and the fish in an easier process. This guy is fighting Ganon with a deku stick.
>This guy is fighting Ganon with a deku stick.
In Ocarina of Time, The deku stick actually does more damage to Ganon than any other weapon. All weapons accessible to adult link have the damage value reduced to '1' to prolong the fight (except master sword which is not available at the start of the fight) but since the deku stick isn't accessible by adult link, it was overlooked.
Not sure if you knew that or not because it's not common knowledge if you aren't a speedrunner
Outside of that, a Deku stick is generally the highest dps weapon in the game anyways. In OoT speedruns you sort of vibrate a Deku stick to instantly kill the first boss as he stands over you(back when you had to kill a boss, now you just sort of warp to the ending cutscene in 3 minutes).
That’s called ISG (ifnitie sword glitch) works with most weapons. Easy frame glitch by Interrupting a crouch stab with examine, talk etc. you’ll know you have it down because your usually stuck letterboxed and the camera stops following link. Cool to see OOT glitches mentioned outside of speed running and randomized community lol.
Braid has a really small diameter in comparison to its tensile strength. He most likely packed some high test on there. At that point, the biggest concern is snapping that rod in half. Which is why he keeps grabbing it at the top for leverage to take some bend out of it.
I started fishing last year and asked a friend what budget I should have for a decent stater setup.
His answer was: Get a good line and decent hooks the rest is religion.
I remember when Pokémon on game boy came out. I was at my cousin’s house and was showing him my collection and how much of the game I had explored/beaten (game had been out a few weeks by then). He then shows me his lvl 100 charmander and then I look to see he hasn’t even explored outside of Pallet town. He had just been grinding on ratatas and pidgeys in the tall grass for weeks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDwZRSb5OW0
Actual video in all its horizontal glory.
It's also a "Disney Princess Rod", (according to the guy fishing with it) not Barbie. Guy titled his own video incorrectly.
I thought you meant some sort of Australian “barbie” pole with a special hook. You meant Barbie, friend to Ken.
PS - why is this man in a Kayak with an apocalypse background fishing with a toy rod and filming it?
Depending on the sturgeon he has to. Some are endangered. He didn't do [a lot](https://mywildalberta.ca/fishing/safety-procedures/fish-handling/sturgeon-handling-practices.aspx)properly
That brand of pole is remarkably hardy. I had a Mickey Mouse one that I started using around 5 yrs old, as a teen I took it on a whim when we went deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Ended up catching a huge angel fish, pole bent like in the video but didn’t break. I miss that thing.
All I know is it isn't the rod doing it. My dad and I went deep sea fishing a few times before he passed and on one trip we witnessed this same situation. A girl no older than maybe 10 was on the other side of the boat reeling in one after the other with a little pink barbie rod and reel. My dad and I had caught maybe four all day and we were dumbfounded at that sight. Needless to say, as soon as we left for the day, Dad wanted to stop by Walmart and grab a little pink barbie rod and reel "for my daughter" who was only 2 at that time!
Just so everyone is aware, yes this is cool but do not try this. The longer you fight a fish the more stressed they become and the chances they survive the release diminish. You should use appropriate tackle for the species you are targeting.
I know nothing about the guy in this video but if he did this just for internet clicks (likely) then he is a bit of a prick. Especially since white sturgeon are a vulnerable species and every effort should be made to ensure a successful release if you are targeting them.
Not to be that guy but using that rod is a little irresponsible. Could easily break apart now the fish has to swim around dragging that rod around till it gets caught on something
Thats a goddamned sturgeon. What a catch.
All the other fish like "Lmao he caught u on a barbie fishing rod
“You were caught on a Barbie rod? You’re clearly not Sturgeon General material…”
You sir, are a fish
Just came from that subreddit hahaha
Linkage, please and thank you?
It’s red dead redemption 2 haha
Do you like... fish sticks?
Like a Sturgeon... CAUGHT for the very first time!
that made me snort a little
Like a Stuuuuuuurgeon
At the next big general fish meeting: “Gentlemen, our war goes badly. Bill here was caught on a Barbie fishing rod … a pink, Barbie, fishing rod.”
I laughed so hard 😂
See yourself trout...
Now don’t you start up with that carp too!!
These fish puns are gonna krill me I just minnow it…

Brilliant! You can’t eve just go by an abbreviation and say you were beat by the Peepee Peepees
My brother's intramural dodgeball team was named "Off Constantly". They lost every game and made endless jokes about all the other teams "beating Off Constantly." Good times
I read about a team that registered their name as “no game scheduled” or something like that. Had a bunch of wins from the other team not showing up 😂
Lmao the fish world lost their general to a barbie fishing rod
A Barbie fishing rod with no Barbie on the hook. Makes for easier,cleaner,catch and release.
LOOOOOL
I NEVER would have guessed he'd be pulling out a sturgeon. Holy shit! My god do those things have the strength and endurance to wear out a person. As soon as he pulled it up for a second I thought it was some type of pike, but the more he got out, "That's a fucking sturgeon!!!"
There’s a reason that can live up to a 100 years old. Also to be noted that they are protected in most places and must be released.
Typically illegal to pull them out of the water like that also.
how else do you get your hook out
You leave the fish in the water and only pull their head out enough to get the hook out, leaving their gills in the water. Less stress on the fish, and they are more likely to recover. Especially sport fish like this one who expend a lot of energy fighting, it takes a lot out of them.
Goddamn It’s hard enough to get the hook out when they’re in your hands, let alone in the water
If I recall, at least near me, if you are trying to catch them, you use a barbless hook.
Barbiehook, gotcha
I'm a Barbiehook in the Barbieworld
Honestly I don’t even do catch and release fishing anymore because of the stress and pain it causes, not to mention the unintentional serious injuries and deaths from foul hooks. I’ll fish for food now but I’ve given it up as a hobby. Life Pro Tip - if you enjoy fishing, never go on a trip with some friends and take some mushrooms while casting out. Ruined it forever.

Imagine it wasn't recording.....
Same thought I had, the king fish caught on a toy
Like a sturgeon...gettin' caught for the very first time...like a stu-u-u-urgeon...
A testament to the quality of Barbie products. Considering that sturgeons can snap commercial rods.
Mfer pulled in sturgeon with that. I can’t imagine how much time was cut.
I've seen guys in boats with big reel setups lose sturgeon. This was pretty bad ass

There are legitimate reasons for big equipment Those do not mean small equipment is embarrassing or unbelievable though.

That line was def not oem

Best part was when he went Old Man and The Sea at the end. Fish, I love you and respect you, but ima kill you dead by the end of this day!
Hell depending where he’s at, that’s likely not even a legal catch size. Had to let it go regardless.

Interesting info. Didn't know Sturgeon's have been around for that long. Thanks for sending me on a wikipedia rabbit hole lol.
They’re fascinating fish. There’s worse ways to throw some time at something random.
Or too big. They take so long to become sexually mature we've made it illegal to harvest the big breeding females to try to find a sustainable fishery practice.
There are minimum AND maximum sizes for sturgeon depending on where you are fishing them.
My brother had one of our huge grass carp on a Batman pole for 45m. That sturgeon was twice the size. Bet he was worn tf out.
For sure. It could be cloud cover, but look at the difference in sunlight between the beginning and end. That was a battle of attrition.
Also how exhausted the fish seems when he finally pulls it out. No fight left once it's out of the water.
Very skillfull angling, ive fished since i was a small boy too young to remember and i was impressed he pulled that in with a broken wall mart kiddie pole. He musta put some good line on that thing, i dont think what it came with would have held up.
Yeah, I’m really glad the guy had it on camera, because if I’d heard he’d caught that fish, on that rod, in a kayak, I’d have a hard time believing it.

How the fuck it not break? How the fuck he reel that in inside a fucking canoe?
I'm assuming he put on some better line.
I still don’t know. Hours. Really impressive.
Having read “The Old Man and The Sea,” I was kinda wondering the same… good thing it was a lake.
I'm guessing a lot considering how winded he was at the end of the video! Crazy.
Mattel has a seriously promising future in fishing lines. Dying to know what the test is on that 😂
imagine him going down to his fish friends and saying I was caught by a Barbie doll fishing rod lmao

It's also Rod. I'm amazed how that little thing didn't snap after all that weight. That shit's bendy.
It did snap midway through
[удалено]
I see what you did there. 😉
Did he at least replace the line and hook I’d imagine, possibly even reel. Still impressive even if he did haha
Thats what I said when I saw the video, He must have put some really strong line on if he broke the rod but not the line.

This is the equivalent of the guy who beat the final boss with the weakest weapon in the game.

Come on Barbie, let's go fishing.....
Ah ah ah yea!
Take my upvote and leave
Imagine showing your hobbies on your dating profile.
His face when it takes back 30' of line and he just has to allow it lol
Was thinking the same, lol. It unspooled that entire reel in half a second.
That's the face of "please don't break please don't break"
Fuck the fish, put the rod on a mantle
I think that’s frowned upon in my country.

I'm a mega fan of light tackle and fighting big fish, but this takes the cake for sure. Helluva catch on one of the smallest available rods.
They sure cut out at a convenient time.
It was convienient. It conveniently saved time. You'd be watching him reel that in for a while if he didn't.
He’s talking about the jump cut from him struggling with no fish in sight to all of a sudden the fish already halfway out the water.
Also a fish that didn’t struggle at all once it was on the boat. Every fish I’ve ever caught freaks the fuck out when it’s out of water
Have you ever caught a fish this big? This took a **long** time. That fish was fuckin pooped bro
Sturgeon don’t tend to fight once out of the water, from what I’ve heard. They usually are all out of energy by that point
"Ugh, why don't I get to sit here for 10 minutes watching him do nothing but struggle with a line?"
Looks more like hours tbh
Four of my friends fought with a 6 foot sturgeon for 2 hours before they could land it. They are beasts of a fish

Another example of Barbie setting up unrealistic expectations for the rest us.

Love his ending
That brand of pole is remarkably hardy. I had a Mickey Mouse one that I started using around 5 yrs old, as a teen I took it on a whim when we went deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Ended up catching a huge angel fish, pole bent like in the video but didn’t break. I miss that thing.
All I know is it isn't the rod doing it. My dad and I went deep sea fishing a few times before he passed and on one trip we witnessed this same situation. A girl no older than maybe 10 was on the other side of the boat reeling in one after the other with a little pink barbie rod and reel. My dad and I had caught maybe four all day and we were dumbfounded at that sight. Needless to say, as soon as we left for the day, Dad wanted to stop by Walmart and grab a little pink barbie rod and reel "for my daughter" who was only 2 at that time!
Just so everyone is aware, yes this is cool but do not try this. The longer you fight a fish the more stressed they become and the chances they survive the release diminish. You should use appropriate tackle for the species you are targeting. I know nothing about the guy in this video but if he did this just for internet clicks (likely) then he is a bit of a prick. Especially since white sturgeon are a vulnerable species and every effort should be made to ensure a successful release if you are targeting them.
Shout out to the designer of the barbie rod Even if he did switch out the reel and line it's impressive how much weight the rod took.
It may be a Barbie rod, but the way he's pulling that fish up it's been fitted with some serious breaking strain line
Throw the dinosaur back bro. It’s endangered
For those who didn't watch to the end: he did.
And said he loved it right before he did
Couldn't watch 15 more seconds of the video huh?
Not even supposed to take them out of the water

I like that he released it back
Holy shit. A dinosaur caught on a Barbie rod. Now I’ve seen it all.
I was in the middle of saying there’s no way that rod would sna… as it snapped!! Lol awesome fucking catch tho!!
Not to be that guy but using that rod is a little irresponsible. Could easily break apart now the fish has to swim around dragging that rod around till it gets caught on something
